Lyrics
As the sun at night
and the stars in the day
the emptiness that surrounds me
is truly amazing
A vision destroyed like the sound of a whisper
descending in the distant darkness,
retreating from the grasp
of the hands that burn the world.
In the pale light of the daybreak
I change again to stone
thrust so deeply into the dirt
that i can never be surfaced;
like a shipwreck fallen far beneath
into the trenches of the deep.
Dreams like memories
lose their taste over time
and the bitterness quickly becomes
all you can remember
so fear not for after the pain subsides
it will be like you never dreamt at all.
I have no way to survive
or place to belong while staying alive.
Mysteries sealed in cages of steel,
clattering far above where vision has failed.
Living is the chaos of existence
dismantling itself, instant by instant.
There is no uncertainty or fear within
for living is what creates it.
Confessing from behind a mask
insincerity spilling out over the edges
where the mystery of being hangs;
snakes from the mouths of the withered and aged.
Like a flame broken into embers:
a once unbearable heat has faded away.
When the light goes out
the darkness is deeper
than if it had never shone.
As the light goes out
in this cavern, so dark,
I hope to remain.
Like a flame broken into embers:
a once unbearable heat has faded away.
Shapeless is the mold I'm encased in -
chased by a wraith in a hundred
places I fear. This dream I once held dear is disappearing.
The picture of a world of gray is getting clear.
So many differences, interpretations taking place...
The dream I once held dear is fading away.
Now drifted so far into the distance,
this ship of Theseus is sinking.
Living is the chaos of existence
dismantling itself, instant by instant.
There is no uncertainty or fear within
for living is what creates it.

For technical death metal band Allegaeon, sitting still is not an option. The Fort Collins, CO group has never allowed itself to stagnate, prefering to thrive on chaos, change and evolution. Their latest full-length offering, 'The Ossuary Lens', is their 7th but, importantly, it's the first with original vocalist Ezra Haynes since his 2015 departure following the 'Elements of the Infinite' album.
